Turner Classic Movies



I really have been remiss in not going on and on and on about TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES.

I didn't realize how much I missed it up here until Canada finally got with the program and added it.

What Turner Classic Movies does is show classic movies....Commercial free, all the time.

Pretty sweet, huh?

But it gets better.

In the 31 days leading up to the Academy Awards (March 5), TCM is running their annual "31 Days of Oscar" gala, where every single movie is an Oscar Nominated film.

Tonight features (among others) THE KARATE KID, SAME TIME NEXT YEAR and A SONG TO REMEMBER.

Tomorrow features HOW THE WEST WAS WON, HONDO, AWAKENINGS, THE BIRDCAGE, TOOTSIE, SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE and NETWORK.

Sunday has the incredible CAPTAIN BLOOD, MILDRED PIERCE, GONE WITH THE WIND, and ADAM'S RIB.

Monday Features GOODBYE MR. CHIPS, THE LION IN WINTER, REMAINS OF THE DAY, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, ANNE OF A THOUSAND DAYS and OLIVER!

Tuesday's Favorites include MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, and SUSPICION.

Wednesday's picks include RHAPSODY IN BLUE, DIVORCE, AMERICAN STYLE, THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI and FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.

Thursday has OUR TOWN, WOMAN OF THE YEAR, BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION, THE LOST WEEKEND, LOVE STORY, PAPER MOON and THE LAST PICTURE SHOW.

Friday: THE ALAMO, BIG SKY, LUST FOR LIFE, BELL BOOK AND CANDLE, TWILIGHT OF HONOR and FOUR DAUGHTERS.

Saturday includes LORD OF THE FLIES, DR. STRANGELOVE, FUNNY GIRL, THE STING, and THE THIRD MAN.

Sunday tops us off with SHOWBOAT, HIGH SOCIETY, THE PRISONER OF ZENDA, FROM EARTH TO THE MOON, THE HAUNTING and A STAR IS BORN.

I've just listed a few of the movies each day. (And highlighted the ones I won't forgive you for not seeing.) You will want to make time in your schedule for seeing as many as you can.

Yeah, but if she married you, she'd be Mildred Pierce.
